Thankyou for reading about “MAKING WORRIED MINDS” a new podcast in development following Bradley McCaw on his ten year journey to make the album of his dreams.
Hello! Thankyou again for taking the time to review this invitation. Over the past year I have been developing a ten episode series that I’m hoping speaks to you.
I’ve included more about the actual podcast below, but I wanted to first address why I reached out to you specifically.
WHAT IS THE BRAINS TRUST?
As a storyteller, I understand the importance of feedback. Films have been doing this for generations - showing a first test version of the film to an audience so the creatives can understand how the audience will respond to the work when released.
It allows any changes or fixes to happen. Like a soft opening for a restaurant.
I had the idea to do such a process for this podcast - gathering a select special group - and then sharing THEIR stories as a part of the podcasts release strategy.
I have asked you to join this team and help be a part of this podcast final stage of development.
WHAT IS THE BRAINS TRUST?
The brains trust will listen to all 10 episodes, one at a time, or in sections of 3 episodes, and then jump on a zoom to discuss them briefly with me.
My hope is to get feedback about the story - and fix any last sections that don’t make sense, or aren’t actually entertaining (lol) and then… also capture YOU telling your story.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON ZOOM?
On zoom, we will chat about the podcast you just listened to. I will ask some questions and then… hopefully you will be willing to tell me about your story.
Your dreams…
All the effort you have put in to build your own special project.
Then will release day comes, I will share snippets of your story, highlighting you and celebrating all the dreamers. All the artists that take big risks to go after their dreams.
Everybody has a dream and often success and failure are determined by fame and money what if this is all wrong? What if just making something is a huge success? This is what the podcast explores and champions.
WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN?
Brains trust attendees will be invited to pick a time from a digital calendar.
Attendees will be given all 10 episodes to listen to and then asked to record ‘first reaction videos’ on their phone or a quick multiple choice form.
Then at the time selected on the digital calendar, will speak with Brad directly on a recorded zoom.
The zoom will cover and questions from Brad and hearing your story celebrating you as one of the “dreamers.”
